Re: very good news about audio conversion soft ware

Here is the summary on iTunes web site:
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Discover iTunes, the home of Apple Music and endless entertainment. Music, movies, TV shows, and more come together here You can import all of the music you already have into iTunes, you do not have to buy a thing, plus, you get over a thousand radio stations and you can subscribe to hundreds of pod casts for free in the store. If enough of you get interested, I will do a tutorial on navigating the store. Also, iTunes has to be set up a certain way for it to be very accessible. after you install it, the first thing you want to do is to press the key command: CTRL+SHIFT+B This will allow you to set up the three columns of artist, albums, and songs that I was talking about. Freedomscientific has a few good free webinars on iTunes. Using NVDA makes no difference, because all of the concepts are the same. I would start there. www.freedomscientific.com

Re: very good news about audio conversion soft ware

Yes, I do all of my ripping with VLC Media player. Also, Vlc can play Blue Ray disks with an add-on. VLC media player is open source, just like NVDA. I also Record with VLC and burn CD's with it. You can do pretty close to anything with media with iTunes and VLC media player.

Re: very good news about audio conversion soft ware
the only good converter I have found which seems spyware free is winlame.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
winlame.sourceforge.net is where you get it its malware free. The only reason you may not want it is it has not been updated since mid 2010. But it will do wav, w64 soundforge format, standard wav headerless or with headers, flack, aparently cd ripps, windows media, mmd, mad, vorbis mp3 and a few other things including tandy snd files. It uses the bass engine, but as I said its bass engine is like really old now as it is. It will do every file you want and it supports winamp plugins to. So in theory it could the itunes m4a, voc, any chiptune, midi, etc. In practice I have not tried. the only time I convert any file I usually expand it to wav before converting it to anything else. The only time I exclusively use it especially now that I can get whatever I want without doing bad things especially since a lot of stuff has its own converter with lame itself is when I need to fiddle with my own files. The only time that has happened, is so long ago I have forgotten. Goldwave ripps disks well enough when I do have those. and I usually run things at 128kbps mp3 up to 192, but 128 is fine for the headset.

As I recall, Only the paid version, no longer
